Removing a "Message of the Day" prompt.

[mmelbourne]

I have an IPCC Express script which allows the user to record a "message of the day". I am adding a facility to remove this. I attempted to write a null document to the motd.wav file, and although this works, it generates an system error message (the null motd.wav file is written to disk).

The only other way I can see of doing it to use the Create Document step to open a "blank" WAV file (a non-null file effectively containing a short silence) and then writing this back to the motd.wav file.

I was just thinking about creating a similar script for a customer. What I will do to achieve what you're looking for, disabling the temporary message, I will configure the recording application with an enable/disable option that will write a value to an XML-file which will be parsed by the main application to decide wheter to play regular prompts or temporary prompts.

Best regards,

Hi

Can you post or send me an example of this script? I would like to make one almost exactly the same but I can't get the hang of doing the XML stuff.

thanks,

Alan

I'm in desperate need of an example too. I can read the value from the xml file just fine, but I can't figure out how to "write" to that file to change the value. Everything I try completely erases everything in the xml file. I've tried using the "test substitution" step without any success.

Nevermind. I figured it out from reading this post and a variety of other posts on the topic. The missing piece for me was not knowing that XML could be read from a text file.
